Abstract
Secondary alcohols are oxidized to corresponding ketones. This poster will compare traditional and microwave methods of the oxidation of aromatic secondary alcohols. The oxidizing agent of choice for this study is chromium trioxide resin. 9-Hydroxyfluorene, Benzhydrol, and other alcohols are being investigated. Educational as well as research applications are being explored.
